MFA boosts protection and has blocking capabilities but dependency on other solutions complicates deployment
The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks. The agent may have problems syncing, which complicates deployment, especially when users leave the organization, however, agents remain licensed since the server still maintains licenses. Additionally, compared to other endpoint managers like Thycotic, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager lacks recording capabilities, which limits its functionality for critical applications. A feature that records activity, even when bypassing CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has significantly improved our security posture by preventing virus incidents and restricting users from downloading unwanted applications."
"The biggest benefit of CyberArk EPM for our customers is control over privileged access for endpoints. Endpoints are often the starting point for attackers to enter and move within a network. CyberArk EPM bridges the gap between security and operations teams. Operations teams are happy because work isn't stopped due to admin rights issues, while security teams are satisfied that full admin rights aren't given to all users."
"Users can scale the solution."
"There are many valuable aspects of the product, but the most common feature is working with the privileges. The controls of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager influence the visibility into endpoints for my customers. It allows them to granularly manage controls to prevent some malicious activities on the endpoint machine."
"It has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege. We've removed, at this point, close to 98 percent of the local administrative accounts on workstations. If there were an incident, it would stop at that point and we'd be able to know."
"We did immediately begin to see results when using CyberArk."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager are password management, session management, onboarding rules, platform customization, and safety management."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its scalability."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The reporting is excellent."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
 

Cons

"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."
"The product is expensive."
"While CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is a great tool, I believe the functionality could be wider. If it could work not only with permissions but also involve pure EDR tasks or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, it would be great."
"My recommendation for improvement is to add functionality for when users request access to an application. There's a pop-up UI, but it's not very customizable. I suggest creating a UI where we can write scripts or use SDKs to enhance it. This could automatically create tickets in a system like ServiceNow when users request an application. If a manager approves, we could automatically push policies to those users."
"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."
"It was complex to introduction the product to the end-users and the technical team."
"Compared to other tools like Linux, this solution isn't as user-friendly."
"There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Although I do not deal directly with the pricing, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is costly compared to other solutions. However, it offers beneficial features."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors' products."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since the price can be too high for smaller businesses."
"licensing for this solution is based on the number of APV (privileged users), and the number of sessions that you want to record."
"I think that it was in the range of $200,000 that had to get approved."
"The price of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is expensive. The solution is priced based on the number of accounts onboarded and the number of concurrent sessions. Everyone else is included in the price, such as support."
"The professional services for one eight-hour day would be $1,800."
"I believe it's quite a reasonably priced solution. It's not very common to use CyberArk because it's a niche solution, but customers who are willing to control administrative accounts are willing to pay this money."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
